    Today I learned that the gun fight I heard (and saw) about half a mile away from us was some of that stuff you see in the papers about Ir*q.

    Today I learned that this awesome thread was here and am now reading back through it for all the cool stuff people have posted.

    Today I learned what "MC" actually stands for. I honestly didn't know it existed before its Hip Hop usage .

    "Master of Ceremonies". Heh, there's just something about calling a rapper "Master of Ceremonies" that makes me laff.

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    Today I learned that if one procrastinates too long about something, that something is likely to be eventually forgotten, only to come back and bite you in the ass. Hard.

    Also, on a related note, today I learned that this thread existed.

    Cheers, Peepz!

    It also gives a new meaning to McDonald's.

    That's ... just stupid!

    Today I figured out a Turing-style algorithm to decide L={Properly nested parentheses and brackets} in logarithmic space. It used 4 counters: a "paren" counter, a "bracket" counter, a "current look" counter, and a temporary counter to count over to the "current look" counter.

    It's built around the same sort of principle that the pumping lemma for context-free languages uses, which I think is neat.

    I did that for like a week straight. Didn't realise that. Thankfully no one noticed.

    Today I learned three things.

    1) I learned that I wasted about 30 mins of my life speed reading through 72 some odd pages of this thread.

    2) I learned that reading about other peoples life experiences is an extremely effective and enjoyable way to pass time.

    3) I learned that I am incredibly prone to contradicting myself.

    I find that I am Incredibly prone to that myself.

    On another note, Today I learned that my internet hates me, and that my grandparents really know nothing of computers.

    LaZie made this...a long time ago.

    Today I learned that writing an Eagle report over night is not a good idea and more work onto the actually typing of it should be done earlier. Go Me!

    (by Eagle Report I mean my Eagle Scout proposition Paper for my scout leader to review and approve. Yes I am a boy Scout)
